Description: The 130 photographs in Public & Private cover the public aspects of the office-from inaugurations and state dinners to cabinet meetings and press conferences-bus also offer a rare, candid look at the private moments of the presidents, the first ladies, and the important figures in each administration. Missing no detail, Walker's expert lens has captured world leaders, Congressional insiders, the White House press corps, and family moments away from the spotlight, including the Bushes at Kennebunkport and Bill and Hillary Clinton on safari in Botswana. Humorous and heartbreaking, joyful and deadly serious, Walker's revealing images provide an unexpected understanding of the leaders we think we know so well.
